Vermont State Police said in a release that the man fell through the ice on Saturday around 7:30 p.m.

The recovery operation was suspended at 7 p.m. Sunday. Crews will resume their search Monday morning.

The VSP Scuba Team is performing the search with assistance of Newport Center Fire Department and the US Border Patrol.

The name of the man is being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin, police said.

State police report that the ice is not safe in all locations. They add if you are not familiar with a body of water, use extreme caution as there are weak spots in the lakes with the recent warm weather. Do not consider a place safe just because a vehicle has already traveled through an area.
